And you calling anybody 'judgemental' is a joke.
The only people I "judge" are racists and people who post crap and can't defend it.
However, don't make anybody better to swear at you back.
P&D boards have a habit of people bitching at each other and hurlng abuse.
This is the kind of thing I mean - people who can't read. I didn't say "crap posts", I said "post crap". There's quite a difference.
Racists deserve to be insulted don't you think?
racists deserve all they get
Tool, that is why I was angry at JCP structure, and I'm well aware it used to be much better in the days of yore when the form never left the building.
If you are cynical about all the people you meet then you're in the wrong job.
We all have to work with arsehole clients sometimes. Dealing with them as people tends to help a bit.
Like Blagsta accuses, you didn't read it quite properly. What I said was that good staff treat clients well and help for as long as they can unless/until they become arseholes. I mean that you give 99% to someone, but you tend to hold back 1% because from experience, the nicest people can suddenly flip. That doesn't apply to the scenario your good lady described, but as a general rule, even the 'good' staff will think like this. I can't articulate the experience any better. Even staff who have become more cynical, though, will still go into each new situation with an open mind, just trying to help.
And you should do your job to 100% of your ability every time.
Well, you don't expect it as such, but you have to be aware it can happen.
I always do my job to 100%, all I'm saying is that you find yourself affected by past experience.
At least I dont batter old grannies with trolleys you macho man you!
Blagsta, Agreed there is a difference, but in my prior post I made to you, you judged it as being such a crap post, no doubt because when confronted with an opinion you cannot otherwise argue with sensibly you just, well, become very nasty and rude---thats a great way to persuade people to support your opinions! :chin:
As for racists, it would be hard to find anyone that doesnt harbour some form of racial prejudice, whether they use that to assert unfair treatment towards a specific group is when problems arise.
So if your job is being a tosser you should do it 100% to your ability? you could sign up straight away for that Kermit you already have all the right ingredients it seems!
It was a crap post. It seemed designed to provoke a reaction. And it did.
Good to see you're determined to prove your lack of intellect.
Although I'm quite new on this board, Kermit, I've been active on other boards for many years.
One of the lessons I've learnt is that your words can come back to haunt you in the future.
You have to stay consistent...
Nothing wrong with working in retail... There's no 'mindset' for sitting on a till and scanning things, or stacking shelves, all sorts of people work in them including students.
-yawn-
Yep.
The problem is the mindset that everyone who complains is being a tosser. Such as the delightful postings made by the earlier JCP employee.
Arsehole clients aren't the sole preserve of the JCP you know:)
waster is fulfilling his name, really. he's wasting perfectly good oxygen.
it may surprise you alll that I am actually a lone parent and have thoroughly enjoyed winding you all up!! I do actually work for jcp as a lone parent adviser and after the shitty week I have had just needed some amusement, looks like the last laugh is on all youlot. and I do care which is why I work my arse off to help all my customers.
Its a shame none of you have the intelligence however to use other words other than those of the 4 letter kind!!! :crazyeyes
Peachy - you're pathetic. Get a hobby or something.
No English language skills? And you attempt to condescend people here by claiming that we have poor language skills. Exactly what do you do then? I assume you mean by working with single parents that you are trying to get the 'scroungers' out to work? So how many points per parent do you get?
That is running by my assumption that JCP is an acronym for 'Job Centre Plus'.
Well, I was always taught that you don't start a sentence with "And", but maybe it's different now.
You're correct on the acronym, however.
Maybe peachy69 only posts when she's pissed?
Either way, it's getting pointless constantly going round in circles in this way. Look at the 'Signing Off' thread and hopefully you'll believe that we can actually be helpful people when we try really, really hard.
